Alon, The way I change filters is I change the primary Racor filter first and empty the housing to ensure no water or gunk is left in the bottom of the filter housing. I then top off the housing with diese lfuel before I screw on the top. I then start the engine to make sure the line is clear and there is no air in the lines. I run it for a couple minutes and shut it off. Then I remove the secondary filter on the engine. Before I replace the new one I fill the new filter with diesel fuel and screw it in place. I then loosen the bleeder screw and have my wife turn on the ignition to start the fuel pump which pumps fuel into the secondary filter while displacing the tiny amount of air left. As soon as fuel comes I quickly close the bleeder valve. After you do it a couple times it becomes easier. I again start the engine to confirm that all air is out and everything is OK.

And, as said by others, you will have to bleed the air out of your fuel system if you ran out. Turn on your ignition then your by pass valve and let the electric fuel pump click a way for a few minutes. Then close off the by pass valve and you should hear the electric pump ticking decrease to a much slower rate as pressure builds up. Try starting again. If it won't fire you will have to bleed the air out of your high pressure injector lines before trying again. Someone here will tell you how to do that if needed.
